Re: Anyone watching the address?
WASHINGTON ― The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is facing a call for an investigation after it sent a coronavirus mailing prominently featuring President Donald Trump’s name to millions of Americans.
“In terms of design, the main feature of the mailing is Trump’s name rather than the actual guidelines,” the watchdog group Accountable.US wrote in a Wednesday letter to the Department of Health and Human Services’ inspector general. “In fact, the message including the President’s name takes up more real estate on the postcard ― one full side ― than any other item.”
HHS oversees a number of agencies, including the CDC and the National Institutes of Health, that are involved in the coronavirus response. Both the CDC and HHS offered this response to HuffPost queries on the matter, and said they would have no further comment:
CDC, NIH, and Dr. [Deborah] Birx consulted on the content of this mailer through the White House Task Force for COVID-19. The Task Force has taken unprecedented steps to curb the spread of COVID-19 and protect the health and safety of Americans ― part of the response efforts include the mailer, which was sent out to millions of Americans to educate them on ways to help slow the spread.
The postcard dated March 16 is headlined “PRESIDENT TRUMP’S CORONAVIRUS GUIDELINES FOR AMERICA” in all capital letters, and displays the logos of the CDC and the White House. On the back are the same recommendations that were unveiled that day and are frequently referred to by Vice President Mike Pence during White House briefings. The placards Pence has been holding up, though, originally titled “15 Days to Slow the Spread” and then “30 Days to Slow the Spread,” do not feature Trump’s name.
It’s unclear who decided to use Trump’s name so prominently – the font size of the headline is the largest of anything on the card ― particularly since he did not really support those recommendations, he said recently, and only went along with them because he was afraid of being criticized if he did not.
“I don’t think ― if I would have not done it we would have been unbelievably criticized for not doing it,” he told Fox News in a Rose Garden interview on March 23.
“Because this mailing features Trump’s name above all else and clearly seeks to cover up his well-documented history of undermining CDC public health recommendations, it can be quite reasonably viewed as electioneering ― especially with Election Day fast approaching,” stated the letter, signed by Accountable.US President Kyle Herrig.
Other critics, including health experts, pointed out that because such a large percentage of the population dislikes and distrusts Trump, many Americans were likely to ignore the CDC’s recommendations solely because Trump was associated with them.
Trump downplayed the seriousness of the virus and its threat to Americans from Jan. 22 through March 15, at one point even calling concerns about it “a hoax.” Only in the last two days has Trump acknowledged that COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus, is likely to kill 100,000 to 200,000 Americans, even if strict guidelines are observed across the country.

Sources told The Washington Post that its new guidance would make clear that the general public should reserve medical masks, including surgical and N95 masks, for health care workers, but that the public might consider using do-it-yourself cloth coverings, the Post reported.

The point was that 'The Cult' believes every word Typhoid Trump says, and will be out and about in public wearing a scarf that does nothing instead of staying the fuck home like they should, just because he said it is OK.CHEEZY17 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 01, 2020 2:47 amIts not defending Trump; its correcting Dons and capt's incorrect implication that using a different material was somehow stupid when that is exactly what is being suggested for some people.

Re: Anyone watching the address?
But its not very little protective ability, its none. Its fucking science, not faith.CHEEZY17 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 01, 2020 3:22 amIts also a fluid and rapidly changing situation. Which is why do-it-yourself masks are even being thought about at all. The point is that those two fucknuts mocked the suggestion as if it was retarded when it is actually being suggested (saving the "good" masks for the people most in harms way). Sure they wont be as effective as the proper mask but right now it seems the experts are not exactly against it as Don and Cap would have you believe. At this point for some vulnerable people I'd say "very little protective ability" is better than none, no?FSchmertz wrote: ↑Wed Apr 01, 2020 2:53 amIf you do some research, you'll find most experts think anything but N95 masks have very little protective utility.CHEEZY17 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 01, 2020 2:47 amIts not defending Trump; its correcting Dons and capt's incorrect implication that using a different material was somehow stupid when that is exactly what is being suggested for some people.

But until we have enough for the medical professionals, we've got to follow the next most protective method, which is social distancing, and staying home as much as possible. Anything else is mostly just to make us feel better by pretending it protects us.
And we have this, but use a scarf and get back to work...

Jeezus H. Christ. You are so fucking desperate. Here is your original quote:
CDC considering recommending general public wear face coverings in public
"Instead, the recommendation under consideration calls for using do-it-yourself cloth coverings, according to a second official who shared that thinking on a personal Facebook account. It would be a way to help “flatten the curve,” the official noted.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/c ... story.html
You were told no mask if you don’t have coronavirus. That might be wrong.

Today was fucking epic! M-O-O-N... That spells moron.
Trump reading says COVID-19, then adds, "You know what that is? Right? Become a very famous term. C-O-V-I-D. COVID."
Later he just shambles off stage like a lost drunk old man trying to find the bathroom.

Remember when DandyDon was making fun of Trump for saying maybe people should wear some sort of cover over their mouths even if they cant get proper masks?

Now some governors are suggesting the same thing.

Anything short of an n95 mask is all but useless anyway. Certainly scarves and such aren't going to do anything given the relative size of viruses. Its like covering an open window with chicken wire to keep out mosquitoes. Anything less than an n95 is more an appearance of a solution for the feeling than an actual solution.CHEEZY17 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 17, 2020 1:22 amNo, the point was you thought it was an opportunity to make fun of Trump and now experts are saying that those in the worst areas should do it.

Re: Anyone watching the address?
I don't think wearing masks is necessarily a bad thing......I'm sure it must help a little bit in keeping breath droplets from carrying from the mask wearern which can't hurt.
I'm sure half the people that are wearing them think they are protecting themselves instead of other people from them

And then the danger is they forget keeping socially distant is far more protective for them personally. As you said, the mask is to provide some protection for others in case you've got the stealth plague.Stapes wrote: ↑Thu Apr 23, 2020 11:22 pm I don't think wearing masks is necessarily a bad thing......I'm sure it must help a little bit in keeping breath droplets from carrying from the mask wearern which can't hurt.
